I am liking running …

1. Maybe I am getting better at it. My time is not improving but I feel less sore. Legs feel great. Perhaps I am developing the right muscles.
2. I like the purity of it.
3. I am noticing some health improvements like resting heart rate, sleep, etc.
4. And I feel nice after a run. Calm, clear headed.

I am definitely dreaming of the NY Marathon. I feel like that is when I will truly become a New Yorker. What will be the state of the world by then? Will I be married? Have a child (or on the way)? Will I be leading my own team? Will I even be in New York?

No matter what, I will run the marathon in 2024. This is the goal.

And then, 2 days after the marathon, I will vote in my first presidential election.

This marathon will be associated with such a crescendo of memories.

However, you got to enjoy the journey there too. The Quarterly GPs will help.

Quick update:

I am at 284 today. That’s a -6 pound delta over 2 days. And a -1 pound delta over 3 days lol.

Be careful about calorie intake and move more towards a ketogenic diet.
